Understanding Our Service Pricing

At TollInfo Austria, we strive to provide transparent and comprehensive information regarding Austrian road tolls and associated services. While we do not directly sell vignettes or toll passes, our service involves aggregating, processing, and delivering up-to-date information, route advisories, and real-time updates to assist your journey. The pricing for these information services is dynamic and depends on various factors, reflecting the complexity, urgency, and scope of the data requested or the advisory provided.

It is crucial to understand that all prices mentioned on this page are indicative ranges for our information and advisory services only. They do not represent the actual cost of tolls, vignettes, or GO-Box charges, which are set by ASFINAG, the Austrian motorway and expressway operator, or other official toll collection agencies. The final cost for any toll product or service you purchase will be determined by the official vendor or your chosen service provider.

Factors Influencing Service Pricing

Several elements contribute to the overall cost of our information and advisory services. Understanding these factors can help you gauge the potential expense for your specific requirements:

Distance and Route Complexity
Longer routes or those traversing numerous toll sections (e.g., specific tunnels or mountain passes) often require more extensive data processing and, consequently, may fall into a higher pricing bracket for detailed route analysis.
Vehicle Type
Information requirements differ significantly between passenger cars (up to 3.5 tonnes) and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) or buses. HGV-specific toll calculations (via GO-Box) are more intricate, involving axle counts, emission classes, and distance-based tariffs. Our services reflecting this complexity will naturally have a different cost structure.
Time of Year / Seasonality
During peak travel seasons (e.g., summer holidays, ski season), demand for real-time updates and advisory services can increase. While our base pricing aims to remain consistent, certain premium or expedited services might see adjustments to reflect heightened operational demands.
Urgency of Information / Real-time Updates
Access to real-time traffic, incident, or dynamic toll change information on demand typically carries a higher service charge compared to pre-planned route advisories. Immediate, up-to-the-minute data aggregation and dissemination requires continuous monitoring and infrastructure.
Service Scope and Frequency
A one-off route plan will be priced differently from a subscription service offering continuous updates, multiple route optimisations, or an alert system for a defined period (e.g., for frequent business travellers or logistics companies).

"Tolls for the use of Austrian motorways and expressways are mandatory. The type and amount of the toll depend on the vehicle category and the specific route."
